Sumner is an artist based in Western North Carolina and a New Media student at UNC Asheville. Art has been a part of Sumner’s life since childhood, where her mother’s passion for it surrounded her growing up and shaped her creative path.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Sumner values research, structure, and systems. She creates information and data-driven art, using analysis and experimentation to transform complex ideas into clear, engaging visual experiences. Her practice is rooted in curiosity and problem-solving: she explores patterns, relationships, and structures within data and information, then translates them into visual forms that are both thoughtful and accessible. By combining methodical research with creative experimentation, she aims to reveal connections, spark insights, and invite viewers to engage with ideas in new ways. Her practice emphasizes interactive, intuitive, and responsive design, allowing viewers to actively explore information rather than passively observe it.
